A Tribute to a Wonderful & Loving Father. Dad, you were a great man. You worked tirelessly to provide us all the things we needed to survive in life. You had a kind and generous spirit. Your heart stretched wide enough to surround and embrace all of your children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, daughters-in-law and everyone that you know. Your gentle soul touched everyone that you come in contact with. You helped us to feel safe and secure, knowing how deeply you loved us. You earned our respect and gave us your respect in return. You gave us all so much over the years but most of all, you taught us how to love. We all knew you were a man of few words, but when you did speak, we listened. We recognized your profound wisdom and your wonderfully simple approach to life. Family was important to you and you have passed that value on to all of your children. Dad, we know how much you suffered during the last months of your life and still you let your family know how much you loved them. We sincerely hope you have found peace. You are with God now, and we hope you see today and every day just how much we love you. May you rest in peace. Uzochukwu on behalf of your loving family.
